What
is VoltMinder?
VoltMinder is a precision built electronics
instrument which measures DC (direct current) voltage.
Why
do I need VoltMinder?
If you operate a vehicle that uses a 12- to 50-volt DC battery system,
you can benefit from installing VoltMinder. When
correctly used, VoltMinder will insure that you
never experience the disaster of a dead battery (unless the battery
malfunctions internally).
How
does VoltMinder work?
VoltMinder will monitor the voltage of your vehicle
and will alert you through an audible and visual warning system if your
battery voltage drops to a level that would not be sufficient to
provide the power necessary to start your engine. The warning level is
easily set by you, using the controls on the unit itself. You set the
Alert Voltage in .05 Volt increments. Settings are normally set for
12-, 24-, 36-, or 48-volt or whatever is appropriate for you battery
system
How
much power does VoltMinder itself draw?
When on, the VoltMinder will draw 28-32 milliamps. Normal draw is 28
milliamps, but when the alarm is sounding, the VoltMinder will draw 32
milliamps.
How
will VoltMinder make my battery last longer?
VoltMinder helps avoid the damaging drain on your
battery that results from usage or undercharging, thereby extending the
life of your expensive battery to it's full potential.
Is
VoltMinder easy to use?
It's easier than falling off a log! In just a few minutes, the
easy-to-understand instructions will guide you through the set up
process.
Is
VoltMinder proven in “real life” usage?
Yes! VoltMinder has been in field testing for
thousands of hours without a single failure.
Is
VoltMinder affordable?
Yes, when you properly use VoltMinder, you will
eliminate the cost of frequent battery replacement and costly roadside
assistance (jumpstarts) due to undercharged batteries. Owning VoltMinder
will be one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle.
How
did VoltMinder originate?
The original VoltMinder was developed in late 2001.
Gary Latinis, an over-the-road trucker who has been trucking
for 30+ years and driven over 4 million miles, invented VoltMinder,
after realizing that there was not a simple-to-use,
inexpensive device to warn a vehicle operator that the battery voltage
was dropping to a level that would not allow the vehicle to
start. Before inventing VoltMinder, Mr.
Latinis experienced the aggravation, expense, and inconvenience of
waking up and finding that his truck's battery voltage had
dropped too low to start his engine. One day he decided
that a trucker (or anyone who has to worry about their
batteries) shouldn't have to put up with this high dollar
problem. So he invented VoltMinder. He
has been testing VoltMinder over the past
year, without a single failure of the original device.
I'm
hard of hearing. Can VoltMinder audio alarm be made
louder?
Currently, VoltMinder audio alarm level is set at
the time of manufacture. E-mail
us or call us at 307-200-0455 for special orders.
What
information does VoltMinder digital readout provide?
While your engine is not running, VoltMinder will
provide the following information:
• How much voltage your headlights are taking from your battery.
• How much your T.V., refrigerator, electric mattress pad or any other
accessory, is taking from your battery. (Did you know that your TV will
use battery voltage, even if it is turned off?)
• How much voltage your trailer or cab lights take. (TIP - LEDs take
much less voltage than conventional bulbs).
• If some electrical equipment is pulling more power than it should
(this may indicate an electrical short exists).
While your engine is running, VoltMinder will
provide the following information:
• All of the above (The alternator voltage regulator will compensate
for most of the above voltage drops)
• After you use VoltMinder for a while, you will be
able to determine when your alternator is going bad.
